What impressed you positively?

"Albany is a capital city with a rich history. There are museums and capital buildings to tour and a lot of nice views for people willing to look for them. There's plenty of housing within walking distance of the school, and the cost of living is reasonable. The school is attached to one of its affiliated hospitals. I met several pleasant and encouraging people in the area. The school has everything needed to provide a high-quality medical education. It's up to the student to take advantage of it." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The bus drivers in the area are unpleasant and return smiles with frowns. One of my interviewers seemed to get angry at me when I tried to ask for clarification about one of his questions. He also seemed unwilling to answer any questions I had, even though he asked me if I had any questions. The students didn't seem happy to be there. They said they picked AMC because it was the only school that accepted them in the US. Even if that's true, the school has to have some strengths that makes it a worthwhile place to be."
